d never had a problem with me pimping.and sunny is right.it is very ethical.....i have advertised here for more than 3 years and still do...somethings never change.....

It doesn't matter whether Dmitry has a problem with it. I asked whether it was ethical. Here's why it's not:

Consider this: Mr Jones and Mr Smith both own hardware stores. Mr Jones regularly visits Mr Smith's shop, and while there touts for customers to also visit his own store. Mr Smith doesn't object, because more people visit "Smith's Tools" than "Jones' Junk", and Mr Smith doesn't like confrontations. But privately, Smith (and several of his customers) consider Jones' actions to be weak and unethical.

So Plod, your lack of reasoning ability shines through again. But, Plod, you are right in one thing: "somethings never change......."

So what? I've got a feeling you don't understand what a "rhetorical" question is. A rhetorical question involves making a statement by asking a question. Some people feel therefore it's a question that doesn't need an answer. That is not so. The hearer may feel as if the statement (made via the rhetorical question) is quite wrong, and thus will respond to the point being made.

That's the position here. Constable Plod uses this forum to promote his own in a way I find distasteful. As it's a public forum, I feel entitled to respond. If he can feel free to drum up support here, then I feel free to say I don't like it.
